Now you can obsessively analyze Steven Avery's full trial transcripts

When Steven Avery was tried for murder in 2007, the Internet wasn't part of the investigation. But in a post-Serial world that binged Netflix's Making A Murderer in record time, Avery's alleged crimes are once again in the public eye — and now persistent fans finally have access to his full trial transcripts.

Reddit users started poring over the case starting in December, when Making A Murderer premiered. But it soon became clear that to get a comprehensive view of Avery's trial, they would need access to the full transcripts. User Skipptop started a Fund Anything campaign to raise the requisite $2,700 to buy the transcripts.

The entire 27-day trial's transcripts are now online, with individual trial days spanning anywhere from 12 pages to almost 300. Reddit users and true-crime aficionados can now pore over hours and days of everything said by the prosecution and defense — over 700 hours of footage that had to be cut and curated for the Netflix series.

Will the transcripts reveal something everybody missed in Avery's trial? Will they help exonerate him — or confirm his guilt? Dive in, dear readers, and find out for yourselves.
